    Issy - Sounds like a plan. 6 hours sleep a day is a lot for most babies this age. The general advice for this age is about 3-4 hours during the day I think (taking into account that each bub is different and has different sleep requirements). It might help, it might not, but you can only try! We've been on solids twice a day for a while now. He is still only eating small amounts of food though so I'm not concerned. Will probably up it to 3 times a day in the next few weeks.

    I ended up bringing D into our room in the portacot last night because I couldn't sleep worrying about his coughing and dodgy breathing He hasn't been sleeping well during the day either which is hard. I'm not used to it and find it frustrating when he doesn't sleep long enough for me to get stuff done. But not much I can do with a sick bub so am just attempting to resettle but not pushing him too much.

    Have decided to ditch the wrap all together. He is getting out of it and getting tangled which I don't like. So far... OK...but will see how we go!

    He has finally cut his top two teeth. Long way to go before they are completely 'out' but I can feel them now.
